We never use glue in our notebooks. The pictures above were taped in. I also never let them use markers because they bleed through the pages. We use crayons or colored pencils. I use lots of different sizes of labels to put info at the top of the pages.

We read lots of books about the same character, by the same author, or with the same title and then write or draw about them in our notebooks. I use labels to add the guided questions to the top of the notebook pages.
